FCC Nixes Challenge To KSCO Renewal

The FCC has also dismissed an objection by THOMAS IRION to the license renewal of ZWERLING BROADCASTING SYSTEM News-Talk KSCO-A/SANTA CRUZ, CA as untimely.

IRION filed the objection a month after KSCO's license was renewed, complaining that owner MICHAEL ZWERLING "engages in anti-social behavior on the air," bullying callers, guests, and his own mother, and the station advocated drug use, but the filing came after the window to object was closed and the Commission ruled that IRION did not show good cause to allow the late filing. The Commission also noted that IRION's filing contained "bare allegations" without sufficient information to show any violations.
